Writing Workshops Reviews

"Mary is kind, friendly and really knows writing. She knows how to sequence assignments so a writer can build on previous writing activities. She creates a relaxed and welcoming writing atmosphere. I wouldn't hesitate to take more writing classes with her!"
- Debbie Schaefer

"Mary promotes learning not only through comfort but through a mastery of the art of writing. Her vast knowledge and experience is imported in a friendly and helpful manner."   - Edward A. Scott III

"Mary engages you into a new way of thinking. She got me in touch with a voice that I did not know I had prior to her class. "My writing voice" Her instruction is thought provoking and encouraging. The classroom environment was calm and open minded."      - Laura Fox   

Read "At a Writing Workshop" to get a glimpse of what goes on and why.
